Western EsplanadeBRAND • VAUGHAN

exceptional

Within five minutes of the vibrant coastal City of Brighton and Hove, this unique four bedroom seafront residence is tucked within a hidden terrace along a private road, favoured by celebrities due to its seclusion whilst being in a location well served for schools and transport- as well as the uninterrupted sea views from your own private beach! Recently refurbished to an exacting standard this streamlined home with a plunge pool and a garage now offers clean lines and high technology, perfect for sophisticated entertaining by glamorous sea lovers.

Owner’s secret:“Our home gives us the privacy that we need, but is close to all the other things that we love and the children require – theatres,

restaurants, stations, shops and schools.”

Bear in mind:These private homes with private beaches rarely come on to the market.

CELEBRITY • STATUS

The PropertyWhen you walk into this house you are stepping into a glamorous life style. Designed around, and to enhance the uniquely glorious views of the sea, this house has lofty ceilings, reflective surfaces and flowing lines. The rear of the house is glass, bringing in fabulous uninterrupted views of the rolling ocean as far as the eye can see, with glass doors on each level sliding open to sun terraces, seamlessly integrating the outdoor with the indoor space.

The Dining RoomAhead is the dining area where astonishing views pour in, although remotely controlled curtains can soften the light or indeed close completely to make the space more intimate. To your left, the current owners have placed their sofas by the handsome, open fireplace of natural stone, and the snug, with a smaller gas fire to settle down in front of, is around the corner, which feels remarkably homely for such a generous space.

The Living Room

The DeckThe entire back of the house can open to the sun terrace with a heated plunge pool and shower, lights and speakers, and which steps down to the pebbled beach, making it easy for guests and the family to flow in and out. In the winter, when the sea and sky are stormy, the family make the most of the spectacular vistas by engaging the Lutron light system, offering 2 different scenes of lighting, whilst listening to music through the ceiling speakers – 2 of which are also tuned to the t.v in the snug for 360 degree sound.

The KitchenThe custom made ”Windmill” kitchen is styled behind a gently curved breakfast bar of white silestone, open to the sea. As in the other main rooms in the house, there is a control 4 base here and the sound system is wired so that if the video entry system is rung, the person comes automatically on screen, and any music playing is suspended until after the door has been opened and closed.

This room has beautifully simple lines allowing the water to reflect in the glass splash backs and glossy white units and it ripples brightly across the high ceiling.

In the left hand run there is a MIELE bbq and a Hibatchi grill as well as a five ring gas hob beneath a discreet powerful extractor, flush to the ceiling. Twin SIEMENS ovens with a warming drawer are thoughtfully placed in a tower at the end of the room between a microwave/combi and integrated fridge, freezer and ice maker (there is a second fridge for parties on the right!). The BLANCO sink, with a waste disposal facility, has a hot tap and there is an integrated dishwasher, so all you need to add to this fabulous space are your friends.

The Entrance HallThe large entrance hall has a ceiling 3 metres above your head and an impressive sweeping staircase to your left. The gleaming oak beneath your feet leads through double doors into the magnificent open plan living space, discreetly “zoned” so that although you are aware of the scale of the room, it is not cold or unwelcoming.

The Staircase and Media RoomAcross the hall, beneath the sweep of the bespoke glass and oak staircase with concealed LED lighting in the wall as you mount, is the playroom/media room, wired with a sleek 6 channel stereo surround system, and concealed behind the wooden panelling on the right is the electronic heart of this fabulous house.

To your left are windows and a door leading into the front, walled garden, which is not overlooked and which has been useful over the years for both young children and teenagers to spill out into.

The Top FloorUp on the first floor, the high ceilings of 2.4 metres together with underfloor heating, continue into all of the rooms on the floor, including the two quiet and private double bedrooms at the front of the house.

The family bathroom is through the second door on the right, lined in natural slate and stone with a shower above the bath.

The Guest RoomThe guest room next door, currently used as a study, shares both the astounding views and relaxing sun terrace and like the rest of the house is freshly decorated in white to make the most of the colours that stream into the house at both at sunrise and sunset.

The Master SuiteWith stunning sea views, and a sun terrace from which to enjoy them, the immaculate master bedroom feels like a suite on an ocean liner as all you can see through the walls is water. To your right is an equally spectacular en suite wet room with a large walk in shower with a rainfall head, fabulous freestanding bath and twin sinks sunk into marble, all looking out to sea. The w.c is discreetly separate, and behind you is a giant walk in wardrobe, gently lit by funnel sky lights to keep your fabric colours fresh.
